Recovery Run

This morning I woke up early before work to go for a nice, short run– my first since the race. When my alarm went off I literally said out loud “oh my god. rude.” I did not want to get up, my bed was so cozy. But I told myself I could either run or study, but not sleep. Obviously running won and I was quickly out the door.

I struggled to get in a good rhythm today. I could tell my legs weren’t quite ready to run again. My arches were both bothering me (maybe from my new kicks) and my left calf hurt, which was a new one. 😕

I just did 3 miles this morning because I wanted to give myself a little break. Then I cooled down with .42 miles of walking til I got home. The splits:

Mile 1:

11:25

Mile 2:

10:44

Mile 3:

10:07

0.42

7:40

At least it was negative splits, that counts for something, right?!

I completely forgot to write about the awesome race present Vic gave me. I got us both 13.1 charms for the first race and she got me another one to add to my bracelet!
